Commercial-Style

Some manufacturers may use the term professional-style or commercial-style to describe high-end residential appliances while others may use the term to describe the stainless steel look. It is important that these terms not be confused with "Commercial" appliances, which are available for "commercial" use only. Residential commercial-style appliances are designed with BTU (British Thermal Units) outputs that are higher than traditional needs but comply with the building codes for "residential" use. Power requirements and outputs vary greatly from one manufacturer to the next. Don't judge a book by its cover--make sure you know what you are getting. Do you want a traditional appliance that has a stainless steel look or do you want a high-end appliance that has all the high-output components and capabilities? iWANTaNewKITCHEN.com uses the term "residential commercial-style" where needed.
